I just got back from a weekend up in new hampshire for my girlfriends birthday, stayed on winnipasuakee river at her grandparents house and hardly got to do any fishing, but I caught one largemouth and most the spots i tried to fish up there were closed from Oct 1st - March 31st. Which to me is a crock of you know what... So on my way home i get a call from my dad as happy as can be and he tells me, " i just got back from 5 minutes of trout fishing at wharton brook, i got 1 nice brown first cast and second cast i got about a 7 lb rainbow. " I couldnt believe it, my dad has fished for trout his whole life and always trys to get me to go but i always say im not going trout fishing for dollar bill sized stocked fish. Well today i put my foot in my mouth. He brought it home for pictures and on the ride it dropped a ton of eegs in the bed of the truck. He weighed the fish and it came in at 6 lbs 8 oz and around 23 inches. Which beat his old best of 5.5 lbs. He caught it on the old meal worm marshmellow combo on 4 lb test. He didnt have a net so he walked right into the water shoes on and all to land this fish with a whole group of fisherman around him cheering him on and cursing him up and down lol Congrats dad! but hey...im still not going trout fishing =) Here's some pics, My dad is 6 foot 7 & 280 lbs lol so he makes it look small and the other one is my mom holding it, the brown is 14 inches which really shows the size of the rainbow.
